Phil_rose Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi, I have the betas of Designer and Photo installed. With Designer opened I see 'Edit in Photo' is greyed out and unavailable. Is this as it should be? Thanks! Phil I like turtles!

Rick G Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 What have you got opened? Try opening a photo in designer and see if it is working. as it works here for me on my windows set up If it is there great. Then reopen what you had and if it is just some vectors and the thing is blanked out you may have a bug. OR open a second document and see if it is ther for a few vectors as they did have a but that was related to only one document being open Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlainP Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I just tried it as I didn't know it could be done in the beta version. I created a new document in Designer, placed a jpg image on the page and selected "Edit in Photo". Photo started and opened the document. But then..... The document disapears from Designer and after editing, export or not, I can't close Photo as it always display the following: "At least one file is currently being opened. Please wait for files to load before quitting the application." From then on I only can escape this by closing Photo with Tasdk Manager. -- Window 11 - 32 gb - Intel I7 - 8700 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 -- iPad Pro 2020 - 12,9 - 256 gb - Apple Pencil 2 -- iPad 9th gen 256 gb - Apple Pencil 1 -- Macbook Air 15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sir is a problem that neither Peter nor I are seeing. That may call for what they call a control runup (Hold down the control key while you start designer and rest all the personalizations - something may be corrupt) or even an unistall /reinstall but you might want one of the greater luminaries give you some direction if you are nor comfortable with that from we end users (uou can back out of a control runup, just watch the presented menu) Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try quitting and re-opening both applications if you haven't already since installing. When one of them is launched it sets a flag somewhere that the other one checks upon startup in order to determine if the other one is available. If you started Designer before Photo created that file then Designer won't recognize the presence of Photo until after you quit and restart Designer, and vice versa.
